A Self-Adaptive Curvilinear Grid Model

2D shallow water equations in movable generalized curvilinear coordinates are derived and used to simulate storm surge inundations. A self-adaptive grid system is propsed to treat a continuously deforming lateral boundary and a kinematical boundary condition is adopted. Details can be found in:
